Ancient settlements are significant features in the geographical landscape, from an important aspect of the historical geography in Sri Lanka. Most of them, especially the large towns, are from the distant past and have evolved through time, bringing out distinctive patterns in spatial interactions from one historical period to another. This book outlines the economic, political and social factors that brought out these distinctive patterns, specifically in the northern dry zone lowlands.
